Had the pleasure of doing an express detail on a repeat customer/good friend of mines VW CC R-Line edition. I will admit that I am not a huge fan of VW's but this car is just plain nice and stylish. The wheels although aftermarket go perfect with the color and lines of this car.

My process:

1. Wheel/tires cleaned with Iron-x/APC
2. Washed with Dawn and APC diluted in 4gal of water to strip any wax in preparation for Hydro2
3. Nanoskin fine wash mitt with ONR diluted into a detail spray
4. Hydro2 applied to paint/glass/rims (diluted 100ml of Hydro2 with 300ML of RO water)
5. Sheeted dry and then Megs drying towel for left over water
6. Tires dressed with Megs aerosol tire dressing
7. Interior/Exterior glass cleaned with Megs perfect clarity
8. Interior/trunk vac'd and panels given a quick dust off.

The Hydro2 really amp'd up the slickness and gloss on the metallic paint. It was almost as if I coated the car. Great product!


All Done

Very nice work! It does posses that coated look IMO as well.

But those wheels are too small and it dosent sit low enough...
 
Is it a very quick application?

This would be great for both speed and results as DP PC Sealant ain't cutting it ;)

Very quick. Spray on panel and rinse off immediately with high pressure spray. Do not use in direct sunlight. Gloss and slickness are awesome!! At LEAST 3 months durability if applied to bare or coated paint. A lot report longer.
 
Looks great! Really can't find myself liking the styling of that model VW though...

Can you apply it to wet paint with the same results? Or no?

I saw you could but does that sacrifice the lifespan of the protection??
 
You used 400 ml for the entire vehicle? I used about 50ml total ready to use product on my car and got good coverage. That stuff is too expensive to be wasting product.

NO. I only used about 100ML of diluted product. 400ML was the total I diluted into a spray bottle. 100ML of Hydro and 300ML of RO Water.

How long is that mixture stable? I was afraid to mix it all at once so I mixed it in a 2oz spray bottle. I wonder if it affects anything.

+1 love it use it on our fleet of rubbish trucks on our pick ups its just so easy to put on with power washer and makes it way easier to wash next time. I use a 1 part Hydro 5 Parts water so I can do few extra sprays per panel and make it easier to get even coverage. Also I don't mind wasting an extra spray here or there if I see a spot that didn't get any or enough on it, usually the lower door and door sills.

I have heard it lasting more than 60 days. I mixed it up cause I knew I would be doing another car this week including doing my GTO.

I do the same. An extra spray here and there is no biggie to me if I am getting paid for it.
 
Hydro2 is an amazing product. Easy to use, slick, and is the easiest way to leave protection on your car.

Nice work on the the CC. Looks great!

I believe when I asked Corey from CarPro, he said mixed product has a shelf life for 6 months. If you do not detail a lot, there is nothing wrong with just mixing what you need. Just be sure, either way, to shake the mixed product well.
